One of the most exciting young Beatles bands to come out of America, The Return have achieved national recognition and a loyal following in just a few years. Concentrating mostly on the touring career of the Beatles, The Return's repertoire has been meticulously practised and perfected to provide an exhilarating, professional show. The band are all in their twenties: founding member Michael Fulop portrays George Harrison; while Shane Landers bears a striking resemblance to Paul McCartney in 1964. Completing the foursome, and the two most recent members to join The Return, are Richard Stelling (John) and Jason Cobble (Ringo). The Return certainly have a passion for music and will always enjoy playing the songs of the Fab Four. With their unwavering dedication to ensuring the utmost level of authenticity in their performances, it is not surprising that people are consistently dazzled by their close likeness to the originals. Same energy. Same charisma. Same feeling.
In 2001 The Return were invited to be the official tour band for the 30th Anniversary celebrations of The Hard Rock Café. The band travelled up the east coast of America with The Beatles' original Magical Mystery Tour Bus performing in Orlando, Atlanta, Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
The Return have also shared the stage with many legendary performers; Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Monkees, Peter Noone, Chubby Checker, Tommy James, B.J. Thomas, The Association and Johnny Rivers to name but a few, and they are frequent guests on national television and radio shows. Having appeared at hundred of venues from college campuses to cruise ships, at benefits, festival and private functions The Return have acquired many fans right across America, and no doubt will leave Liverpool with quite a few more!
